Chalet-style cabin on Lake Champlain with private beach & studio - dog-friendly

Sunset Hideaway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This chalet-style log cabin on a 40-acre cove will quickly become the quintessential vacation spot for you and your loved ones! Enjoy the very best of Vermont's wilderness with the home's direct Lake Champlain access, private beach, enclosed yard, large meadow, and private gazebo with lake views. Being one of the few houses in the Chaplain Islands with sandy beaches, and the only house on Isle La Motte with that privilege, lovely days in the sun are always possible. Making your stay that much more magical, the Milky Way is visible most nights of the year.

When you aren't enjoying a lake day with the cabin's floating dock (available seasonally May - September), kayaks, or paddle boards - check out nearby Fiske Quarry Nature Preserve, Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, and Goodsell Ridge Nature Preserve. Other landmarks include the wildlife refuge in Swanton and Saint Anne's Shrine. Outdoor enthusiasts will also be thrilled to learn there are nine different state parks (such as Alburgh Dunes State Park) and five golf courses in the area to explore as well. Hikers can take advantage of the access to VAST trails in Alburgh and NYSSA trails in Chazy for scenic adventures. Bikers will adore trekking on the Lake Chaplain Bikeways route, and winter activities are similarly abundant with the area's stellar ice fishing and snowmobiling opportunities. For those who prefer the thrill of skiing, eight different ski resorts are within two hours away at Bolton Valley, Smugglers Notch, Jay Peak, Sutton, Bromont, Whiteface, Sugarbush, and Stowe. The island also has two boat ramps within a mile, while a third is approximately five miles away, something boat owners are sure to love.

Lovingly cared for, from the moment you enter the home, you will take notice of the natural light streaming in through the large windows. Throughout the cabin's interior, you'll find hints of rustic charm mixed with modern conveniences. Gather with your loved ones in the living room to watch your favorite streaming services on the TV. Or, show off your culinary skills amongst the kitchen's stainless steel appliances and fun backsplash. Full and content, head for the sunroom/screened-in porch where you can play a game of cards and swap stories. Outside, lounge blissfully in the hammocks or set up a cozy campfire on the beach. Summer days are especially breezy and comfortable thanks to the northwest wind carrying cool air, a perfect complement to the unobstructed lake views. Additional interior amenities include partial air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, high-speed internet (a rarity in Isle La Motte), and a level two electric car charger (30 amp, 7 kW).

Ensuring larger groups can enjoy the space, a separate beautifully furnished studio is located above the garage. Highlights of the studio include bamboo flooring and a Jotul gas wood stove.

As evening nears, gaze out at the mesmerizing sunset views from the floor-to-ceiling windows inside, or outside on the lake's sandy shoreline over a beach campfire.

A literal POOPhole.
Disgusting. Place was filthy. One of the bedrooms had a pile of dog POOP in the middle of the carpet that looked like it had been there for weeks. Dog hair on all of the furniture and all over the floor.

Perfect Getaway for Groups
This is THE quintessential lake house! Beautiful high ceiling and views, great kitchen and we loved the long dining table. Lots of rooms so everyone had their own space. We also loved the fire pit on the beach!

What a wonderful place for a (large) family vacation!
We had a large (12 people) family group at the cottage for a week -- it was perfect for our needs, and a gorgeous location! The only recommendations we would make are that some of the supplies (such as toilet paper) were limited, there clearly were mice around the kitchen area at some point (and in the box with the life jackets), and there is a hole in the lawn near the side door that twisted some ankles. Overall, we LOVED the place and plan to go back.
